The Disaster Committee, Tohoku Chapter, provided the photos of the area to the AIJ Disaster Committee. Kamaishi City is located in the south east of Iwate Prefecture, approximately 100 km to the south east of Morioka City. The city is famous for fishery base (one of the three largest bases for ocean fishery in the world). After New Japan Steel closed blast furnaces, the population of the city is decreasing. The city faces a Rias coast, highly susceptible to tsunami attacks. The following photos show the influence of tsunami wave attack. (1) U-no-sumai-cho, Kamaishi City The town faces Ohtsuchi Bay. The photos are from the west part of U-no-sumai-machi (residence of coal geese). The town was washed away by tsunamis; only reinforced concrete (RC) and concrete block masonry buildings were left standing. .

Tohoku Chapter, Architectural Institute of Japan Quick Reconnaissance Report (No. 7: Ishinomaki) of East Japan Earthquake Disaster March 26, 2011 Professor Reiji Tanaka, Tohoku Institute of Technology Chairman of Disaster Committee, AIJ Tohoku Chapter Mr. Koichi Ishioka, Ishinomaki Technical High School (Translated by Shunsuke Otani, University of Tokyo) Reporter: Mr. Koichi Ishioka, Ishinomaki Technical High School This report includes photos taken by Mr. Ishioka of Ishinomaki Technical High School. The photos depict the damage caused by tsunamis. He was confined in his school from immediately after the earthquake on March 11 to noon on March 12. Mr. Ishioka sent the following message; Two weeks have passed since the tsunami earthquake. During this period, I was involved in contacting all students and staff of the school. The safety of all students and staff was confirmed the day before yesterday. This is a miracle. The last student found safe was our student in Department of Architecture, living in Ayukawa district. On the other hand, many losses of students were reported in our neighboring schools. Let me send photos taken during my visit to various places to check the safety of my acquaintance, in Kadowaki, Minami-hama, Minato-machi areas and factory of a paper manufacturing company, where tsunami damage was worst.

Route map is shown at the end of this report (Fig. 1). The damage investigation was carried out along National Route 137. The observed damage may be summarized as follows: (1) The outflow items were seen to increase beyond the Sendai Tobu Highway, but out flown houses could not be seen in this area (Photos 1 to 3). (2) Toward Arahama District, more damage was seen to houses and buildings (Photo 9). (3) Near the Sendai Municipal Arahama Elementary School, most timber houses were flown out and collapsed by tsunami attacks (Photos 10 and 11). (4) Damage of the Sendai Municipal Arahama Elementary School buildings is shown in Photos 12 and 13. The first two stories of the four-story reinforced concrete buildings were submerged under tsunamis and the first story of the building was filled with overflow materials. The buildings were retrofitted before the earthquake and structural damage was not observed. (5) No timber houses remained standing between the Arahama Elementary School and the coast. Only steel construction and reinforced concrete buildings were standing (Photos 14 to 18). (6) Photo 19 shows a breakwater embankment at the coast. No damage was observed to the embankment, but the tsunami wave crossed over the embankment. (7) Photos 20 and 21 show the hand rails on the embankment; one in the direction of tsunami flow suffered no damage, but the rail normal to the flow was damaged totally from its base.
